Back in 2001, when I was doing my summer research project here in Detroit, I heard a radio commercial for Jerry Seinfeld at the Fox Theatre. It was sold out. I was bummed.
Here I am 4 1/2 years later and Geline buys me tickets for…Jerry Seinfeld at the Fox Theatre! Sweet huh? That’s what I get after nine years. 
Just got this in my mailbox. Too good to be true I think.
Way back when, I blogged about the OQO model 01. Today, I saw the OQO model 01+ in action. My pediatric attending whipped it out on rounds to look at labs. I was like…:shock2: I was surprised, because so far, I haven’t met any real gadget freak attendings yet. But this guy’s also an MBA so maybe that’s where he gets it from.
It weighs a couple ounces short of a pound but it runs Windows XP Tablet Edition and the screen looks pretty nice. The case felt like a magnesium alloy and was nice and sturdy. The screen slid very smoothly. When I looked at my Treo I was sort of saddened but the Treo is so much more useful to me. If only I could get the Citrix client to work on it, I would be as cool as he. :yeah:
At 13:26 today, Springtime became official for 2006. :clap: Anyhoo, Geline has gone back to Cali for some planning and a wedding. Luckily, Yuki is keeping me company.
I also watched V for Vendetta this weekend.
Good movie. Typical smack-you-in-the-face-with-a-fish Wachowski Bros. symbolism. A decent social commentary too; and a bit inspiring. Also, how can you argue with someone who used up the whole ‘V’ section in the dictionary. You just can’t.
Wow, I forgot how demanding being on call can be. I chose to do pediatric intensive care this week…what was I thinking? Actually, it was a good experience taking call on Tuesday. And then taking call again on Thursday! The second call was my choice, but it’s exciting in the ICU. But we’ll get down to what this post is really about which is actually the sequel to the previous post.
My new toy; it’s designed to keep me connected while I’m in clinical prison. It combines my Dell Axim X30 and my RAZR into a single device. But best of all features unlimited EVDO internet. Mmm, full speed broadband internet from the little plastic knob antenna… :jittery:
End of nerd post.
Yuki got to play in the snow for the first time today. She made a couple little spots of yellow snow too. :happy:
Born Nov. 12, 2005, from Hartville, Ohio, Yuki is a, small female half maltese-half toy poodle mix, we hope. Yuki (yoo-kee, not yucky) is supposed to mean snow in Japanese. At first I thought it would be a cheesy name, but it grew on us and we settled with it. She came with a little monkey toy named Kong and loves trying to kill him!
We set her up in a little pen in our utility room. She’s got a nice little bed, her toys, and a litter pan. We started her with little blue wee-wee pads and then moved to the pan by putting a piece of the pad in there to start. She is just 9 weeks old and in less than a week she learned to mostly do her business in the proper place! She still makes mistakes, but that’s what stain and odor remover, a little scrubbing, and some baking soda powder are for.
So far, she is pretty obedient and is very curious. She is like a little sheep. Here she is meeting Kramer for the first time.
Yuki went to the vet yesterday and got her second set of shots as well as some medicine because she has some parasite in her stool. She weighs 2 lbs. 8 oz. Hopefully she’ll stay small and full of energy.
